Private Beta — Limited Access

Hire a dev to be you. Keep control of your code.

Big companies have entire offshore engineering teams doing the execution work while their senior people focus on what matters. You deserve the same leverage. ProxyDev lets you bring in a remote developer to work under your account — with zero security risk and full review control before a single line hits your repo.

The way solo devs hire help is embarrassingly broken

Security nightmare

The only way to let someone commit as you is to hand them your GitHub PAT. That's not a workaround. That's handing a stranger the keys to everything.

Zero visibility

Once they're in, you have no idea what's happening until a commit lands. By then it's your name on whatever they pushed.

You're leaving money on the table

Fortune 500 companies offshore millions of dollars of engineering work every quarter. You've been doing everything yourself and wondering why you're exhausted.

Same leverage the big players have. Finally available to you.

ProxyDev gives you a secure sandbox where your contractor works, proposes changes, and waits for your approval — before anything touches GitHub. Review it like a PR, comment on specific lines, send it back, or approve it. You stay in control. They get paid. Your repo stays clean.

The Old Way
  1. 1

    Share your PAT

    Hand them the master key. Hope for the best.

  2. 2

    Blind trust

    No visibility. No controls. Just vibes.

  3. 3

    Surprise commits

    Check GitHub and find out what they've been up to.

  4. 4

    Your name on bad code

    Whatever they pushed is yours now. Enjoy.

The ProxyDev Way
  1. 1

    Sandboxed access

    They work inside a scoped workspace. Nothing else is reachable.

  2. 2

    Proposed changes

    Every change queued for your review. Nothing pushed yet.

  3. 3

    You review

    Full diff. Comment on lines. Send it back or approve.

  4. 4

    You approve → clean push

    Only what you greenlight ever touches GitHub.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Built specifically for the way solo devs and small teams actually work.

Granular Permission GUI

Define exactly what files, branches and actions a contractor can touch. Nothing else is reachable.

Pre-Push Review Queue

See their proposed changes before GitHub ever knows. Full diff view, your call entirely.

Inline Comments

Annotate specific lines exactly like a real PR review. Send it back with context.

Request Changes

Reject with notes, they revise and resubmit. Not a single commit made until you say so.

Micro-edit Mode

Spot something tiny? Fix it yourself directly in the review before approving. No back-and-forth needed.

Audit Log

Every proposal, approval and rejection logged with timestamps. Full history, always yours.

How it works

Three steps. No PAT. No drama.

1
01

Connect your repo

Link your GitHub via read-only OAuth. No PAT. No scary permissions. We only need to know what you're working with.

2
02

Invite your contractor

They get a sandboxed ProxyDev workspace scoped to exactly what you allow. They write code. They propose changes. That's it.

3
03

You review, you decide

Every change lands in your review queue first. Comment, edit, approve or reject. Only what you greenlight ever touches GitHub.

Frequently asked questions

The ones you're definitely thinking but maybe won't ask.

Your contractor is doing work you've assigned, that you review and approve, that goes out under your account — the same way a ghostwriter works, the same way every dev agency operates. The code is yours. The review is yours. The approval is yours. That's not impersonation, that's delegation.

You're paying someone fairly for skilled work that improves their income significantly relative to their local market. You're getting leverage that lets you build more and burn out less. Companies have done this at scale for decades. We think individuals deserve the same shot.

Only what you explicitly define. Specific repos, specific branches, no direct push rights. Everything goes through the ProxyDev review layer first.

Diffs and proposed changes pass through temporarily during review. We don't store your codebase. Full details in the privacy policy.

They get your comments, they revise, they resubmit. Same as any PR flow — except nothing was ever at risk.
